What 汧 means
It is 汧 (Mandarin qiān) in a variant written form.
The Shuowen Jiezi dictionary records 汧 as a river flowing from Qian County into the Wei River. The Erya wordbook gives another sense: a spring that wells up but does not flow away, forming a marsh.
CNS 11643-1992 is Taiwan’s standard character code for exchanging Chinese-language text. Unicode lists 汧 as its plane 3 source T3-2D52; this mapping lets conversions to Unicode and back retain the entry.
